I am strongly objecting to the development of Strategic Growth Location SG20. The 2021SHLAA Land Parcels Assessment rejected development of the fields around Bidford on the grounds of environmental suitability, landscape impact, impact on settlement character, and agricultural land quality. Due to elevated and exposed topography, effective mitigation cannot be achieved.

There are insufficient sustainable transport options for further expansion of Bidford. There is no train station or regular service to Alcester or the Graftons. Development would put more pressure on the A46. Ardens Grafton and Temple Grafton are used as a cut-through to the A46, and this causes issues with speeding and traffic during peak periods when children are walking to school. Developing Grade 1 & 2 agricultural land damages food security.
